Song meaning of Lama-Lama by Bernadya

As I was listening to the song "Lama-Lama" by Bernadya, I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of longing and exhaustion in the lyrics. The way Bernadya sings about waiting for someone to finish their busy day and feeling like the only one who needs them really struck a chord with me.

In the verse, when she sings "Berusaha tetap terjaga, Tunggu kamu selesaikan semua kesibukan," I could feel the desperation and patience in her voice. It's like she's trying so hard to stay awake just to see that person, even though they might not have the same urgency.

And in the chorus, when she repeats "Lama-lama, lelah juga aku, Seperti hanya aku yang butuhkan kamu," it's like she's admitting her weariness and vulnerability. She's tired of feeling like she's the only one who needs the other person, and it's draining her energy.

The bridge, with its repetition of "Kumaklumi s'lalu, kumengerti kamu, Punya sibuk lain, tak harus aku, tak s'lalu aku," shows a sense of resignation and understanding. She knows that the other person has other responsibilities and priorities, and she doesn't always have to be the center of their world.

Overall, "Lama-Lama" is a poignant and heartfelt song that captures the bittersweet feeling of unrequited love and emotional exhaustion. Bernadya's emotive vocals and the melancholic melody create a powerful combination that resonates with anyone who has ever felt like they're the only one putting in effort in a relationship.

Listening to this song made me reflect on my own experiences of longing and feeling drained in relationships. It's a reminder that sometimes we need to prioritize our own well-being and not wait around for someone who may not appreciate our efforts.
